- Prepare the tongues: In a large saucepan of salted water, bring the tongues to a boil, then drain.
- In a large saucepan, the peppercorns, garlic, parsley, leek, celery, thyme, and onion and cover with water. Bring to a boil, add the tongues, and reduce the heat to maintain a simmer. Cook, covered, until the tongues are tender, about 2 hours. Remove from the heat and allow the tongues to cool in their liquid.
- When the tongues are cool enough to handle, peel them and slice them in half lengthwise. Strain the stock, discarding the solids, and place the sliced tongue into the liquid.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add the tongues and cook, turning as needed, until golden, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and season with salt and pepper. Add the green beans and set aside.
- Make the green sauce: In a small bowl, combine all of the ingredients and season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Add a few tablespoons of the sauce to the bowl with the tongues along with the watercress. Season to taste and transfer to a serving plate. Serve with more green sauce on the side.
